I've just set up a new PC (self build) as follows:

Intel i7 940 CPU
Gigabyte EX58-DS4 Motherboard
Radeon HD4870 GPU
12Gb DDR3 RAM

This, plus a case and a new 500 Gb drive cost me £1100 ($1600). It took 20 minutes to build (but I know what I'm doing). Vista x64 settings transferred easily from my old AMD Athlon 5200 based system to the new one. After installing key bits of software I was up and running within 2 hours.

I'm running Poser Pro and it is very, very fast.
